Internal Investigations

Businesses are often faced with the need for an internal investigation, whether to examine allegations of wrongdoing or to prevent violations that could lead to civil or criminal enforcement actions or lawsuits. Osborn Maledon’s attorneys have extensive experience in handling internal investigations, whether they arise from a government or regulatory inquiry, employment issues, a civil lawsuit or a potential criminal matter. We have conducted investigations for clients in a wide variety of industries on many issues, including corporate governance matters, government contracting, procurement, employee misconduct, antitrust, theft, sexual misconduct, securities or accounting fraud, the False Claims Act, and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, among others.

Our attorneys have established a proven protocol for evaluating how best to conduct such investigations to achieve our clients’ goals without compromising other client objectives. We use cost-effective teams with an appreciation for our clients’ organization, management practices and operational culture to investigate allegations quickly and with minimum disruption. We then provide our clients with the information and advice they need to determine how to best address the issues under investigation, including how to minimize the legal and business risks that are inherent in such situations, regardless of the specific issues raised.
